| Brave Little Tailor | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Courvoisier cel of Mickey Mouse Mickey holds his hat in hand as he explains to the King how he killed seven flies with one blow. The King however, due to courtly gossip, thinks that the Brave Little Tailor has killed seven giants with one blow and decrees that Mickey is the Royal Giant Killer! This beautiful Courvoisier cel is an excellent example of a pre-Fantasia Mickey Mouse. This is evident in the fact that Mickey’s eyes are solid black rather than white with black pupils as he appeared from Fantasia forward. The goal of the redesign was to give Mickey a more expressive face; however, this cel does an excellent job showing Mickey’s nervous emotions. The artwork measures 7" x 6.5" while the frame measures 17.5" x 16.5". There is a slight amount of paint mottling in the character, visible only upon close examination. US$ 5900 (framed). WDCCS59 |

Courvoisier cel of Donald Duck Did you know that Donald's full name is Donald Fauntleroy Duck? Well, it is, and this is an excellent example of this moody duck with his 'hands' on his hips, his mouth slightly open and his eyes ever-so-slightly squinted in classic Donald consternation. The art measures 7" x 7.5". There is some glue residue from the cel which can be seen as the cel has separated slightly from the background. Still in great condition for a vintage cel and we do not recommend restoration unless to move the cel back into position. The character size is 5.75" h x 4.75" w. US$ 1200 (unframed).

The Ugly Duckling
(1931)
Courvoisier cel of the Ugly Duckling Everyone is familiar with the inspiring tale of self acceptance told in “The Ugly Duckling.” Disney actually made two versions of this story, but this Courvoisier Cel of the lead character, hails from the 1939 version. This is a great full body image of the duckling, ugly or otherwise, and shows him pensively scratching head while looking into the water. He may feel ugly now but eventually he will find acceptance, and most importantly will learn to love himself, and he serves as an important reminder to us to do the same. Cel has become slightly wavy which is fairly common for vintage animation cels. The light reflection is visible in the web image only and is not on the actual piece. Very slight paint separation in areas such as his left hand, forehead and feet, with no lifting and in excellent condition for vintage cels of its age. The cel has separated from the background.

Courvoisier cel of Wynken and Blynken This is the most spectacular Courvoisier from Wynken, Blynken and Nod that we have seen. This cartoon is special for many reasons, but especially because it represents one of the earliest uses of the multiplane camera which added depth of focus and a new unexpected dimension to the dreamlike quality of this film. The cel shows three little boys sailing through the evening sky in a wooden clog, fishing for twinkly yellow stars. The background is painted in opulent shades of blue and green on a wood veneer panel, while the three boys, their boat and the stars have been classically trimmed to figure in the Courvoisier style. Even the effects cel depicting the milky cosmos wake has been preserved in this ensemble. At the end of the cartoon, the viewer is made aware that the boys and their adventures in the night sky, are the subjects of a dream that one little boy is having while sleeping peacefully in his cradle. This cel would pair beautifully with the cel that we are also featuring of that cute sleeping boy, WDCMT2. The cel measures 10" x 12.5". The 'Star Fish' have separated from the background. Still in great condition for a vintage cel and we do not recommend restoration unless to move the cel back into position. As visible in the image, there is slight paint loss along the lower hull of the boat. The character size is 2" h x 3.75" w. US$ 2500 (unframed). WDCMT1 |
